It could be because he was found not guilty because it was a justifiable homicide.
My understanding is that if you are found not guilty (no one is ever found innocent) under the stand your ground law you can NOT be sued civilly

It is also my understanding that the feds have decided there were no civil rights violations.

So in essence that means this thing is over in terms of what can happen in court.
